Weather & the environment

With the weather sensors, the Homematic IP smart home system is automatically adjusted to the current weather condition. In connection with other Homematic IP devices, the sensors can automatically trigger commands for moving awnings, interior blinds or shutters up and down in case of certain weather conditions, providing active protection of the house. Users have almost unlimited possibilities for creating individual rules. For example, in case of strong sunlight and inactive security mode, the awning is automatically extended to 80 % or with a previously defined rainfall volume, the drainage pump is activated for a certain period of time.

The sensors offer exact and reliable metering of temperature, humidity, wind velocity, brightness as well as hours of sunshine. With the second expansion variant it is also possible to detect the onset of rain as well as the rainfall volume. Moreover, the most advanced expansion variant does also detect the current wind direction.
